Physinews: A woman who was a contestant on the US
version of The Apprentice has accused
Donald Trump of inappropriate sexual
conduct.
The allegation comes on the same day
another woman claimed the Republican
White House candidate groped her in a
Manhattan nightspot.
Mr Trump has again insisted all the
allega
tions against him are fabricated.
"I don't know who these people are. I look on
television, I think it's a disgusting thing and
it's being pushed, they have no witnesses,
there's nobody around," he said at a rally in
Greensboro, North Carolina.
"Some are doing it for probably a little fame,
they get some free fame. It's a total set-up."
The lawyer acting for the Apprentice
contestant said Mr Trump kissed Summer
Zervos on the lips when she arrived at his
office in New York in 2007.
She also claimed his hands were all over her.
Ms Zervos, 41, has said Mr Trump made
inappropriate sexual advances towards her
at a hotel in Los Angeles a few weeks later.
On that occasion she said he started kissing
her "open-mouthed" and pulled her towards
him.
"He then grabbed my shoulder and began
kissing again very aggressively, and placed
his hand on my breast," she said.
"He put me into an embrace and I tried to
pull him away. I pushed his chest to put
some space between us and said 'Come on,
man, get real'."
Mr Trump has denied Ms Zervos' account of
their meetings and has hit out at the media
over its coverage of the accusations levelled
against him.
He said in a statement: "I vaguely remember
Ms Zervos as one of the many contestants
on The Apprentice over the years.
"To be clear, I never met her at a hotel or
greeted her inappropriately a decade ago.
That is not who I am as a person, and it is
not how I've conducted my life.
"Beyond that, the media is now creating a
theatre of absurdity that threatens to tear our
democratic process apart and poison the
minds of the American public.
"With reporters throwing due diligence and
fact-finding to the side in a rush to file their
stories first, it's evident that we truly are
living in a broken system."
The other accuser, Kristin Anderson, told the
Washington Post Mr Trump put his hand up
her skirt and touched her underwear.
She said it happened when she was sitting
on a couch talking to friends at the China
Club in New York in the early 1990s.
Ms Anderson said she shoved the hand
away, got up from the couch and took a
good look at the man responsible.
She recognised him immediately as Donald
Trump. "He was so distinctive looking - with
the hair and the eyebrows. I mean, nobody
else has those eyebrows," she is quoted as
saying.
At the time Ms Anderson said she was in her
twenties and trying to forge a career as a
model.
She said Mr Trump was a big celebrity
whose face was all over the tabloids and a
regular visitor to New York's clubs.
Now aged 46, Ms Anderson works as a
photographer and lives in southern
California.
The allegations are the latest in a series
made by women who have accused Mr
Trump of sexual assault and making
unwanted physical advances.
